Thanks for the comments.

Initially was thinking the darker the sky, the better the contrast of the lights will be.

Will try again one of this days, night blue sky..hmm, that means about 6-7plus. SHOOT!

Er.... wait... there's a slight problem, if I'll to take the shot at 6-7plus, there'll be lots of cars zooming around...

Any ideas how can I overcome this?

there is this Hoya ND filter that can enable one to shoot 30sec exposure at daytime.
maybe it would be great help at nite too

For the cars, I'll just crop out the bottom building. Anyway, it is your creative lighting arrangement that make this image works, not the building itself.

Alternatively you can set longer shutter speed to make the cars like light beams.

Better still, include one bird as like your previous church photo.

So time to put on your creative cap and bring us more surprise.

PS: anyway, your's is digital, so can just shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot, without worrying film cost.

Thanks for the tips. Will try it out.
